About this map

The convergence of North Branch Wyalusing Creek, Middle Branch Wyalusing Creek, and East Branch Wyalusing Creek forms the hydrologic heart of this landscape in the late 1960s. Settled pockets like Lawton, Rushville, and Rush are situated along these waterways and the local road network, which includes Stonestreet Road. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Devine Ridge and Fowler Hill, interspersed with several active and former Quarry and Gravel Pit sites, signaling a history of local resource extraction.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several remote burial grounds, including the Steadwell Cem, Devine Ridge Cem, and the County Home Cem located near the County Home. Educational and spiritual centers like St Patricks Ch and civic spaces such as Rush Center Memorial Park serve the neighboring townships of Middletown, Forest Lake, Rush, and Jessup, providing a detailed look at the rural social structure of Susquehanna County.
